If I go to the apple.com site and do the same thing, they charge me the CA sales tax, 8.75%.
Did I miss something here?
California doesn't have sales tax exemptions for educational use. Its been 30 years since I lived in Ontario (Univ Waterloo, B.Math '76) but back then at least Ontario (and Revenue Canada) had more enlightened policies toward education w.r.t. taxes.
